00:14:51,140          Well, it turns out                     to be a threat,           278 00:14:51,181 --> 00:14:54,101       so they try to contain it           in this, uh, in this box...     279 00:14:55,853 --> 00:14:58,439             but it grows                     in size and strength.        280 00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:02,026          And then it started                   killing everybody.         281 00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:05,154     Well, their last hope is they         lure it into an escape pod,     282 00:15:05,195 --> 00:15:07,573           they shoot it out                     into deep space,          283 00:15:07,615 --> 00:15:09,491        and they save humanity,                  what have you.            284 00:15:09,533 --> 00:15:10,743            The point is...           285 00:15:12,953 --> 00:15:15,289         Travis is the alien.         286 00:15:15,331 --> 00:15:18,083         He will destroy Uber,                  our reputations,           287 00:15:18,125 --> 00:15:20,085           our livelihoods,                  and we will be screwed.       288 00:15:20,127 --> 00:15:22,087  And if we don't put him in a box           and keep him there,         289 00:15:22,129 --> 00:15:24,381          we'll all be dead.          290 00:15:24,423 --> 00:15:26,425     [Garrett] What kind of a box          are we talking about here?      291 00:15:26,467 --> 00:15:28,135     Because this leave of absence                 was a joke,             292 00:15:28,177 --> 00:15:30,429         and as everyone knows,              he can't just be fired.       293 00:15:30,471 --> 00:15:32,389          Not with the shares                   and bylaws as is.          294 00:15:32,431 --> 00:15:33,891          Even with my weight                    of the shares,            295 00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:35,935      all I can do is block him,                   not remove.             296 00:15:39,730 --> 00:15:40,940                [sighs]               297 00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,861           That's why we have                  to have him resign.         298 00:15:45,903 --> 00:15:48,030               [Graves]                        Never gonna happen.         299 00:15:48,072 --> 00:15:50,407            He loves Uber.                  He breathes it like air.       300 00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:53,494          What-- What's the--                     the leverage?            301 00:15:54,995 --> 00:15:56,372              The press.              302 00:15:56,413 --> 00:15:58,415        They're all over this.        303 00:15:58,457 --> 00:16:00,125          Travis is concerned               about how he's gonna look      304 00:16:00,167 --> 00:16:02,127        when he gets kicked out                of his own company,         305 00:16:02,169 --> 00:16:05,214       so we draft two letters.       306 00:16:05,255 --> 00:16:06,715         One, our grievances.         307 00:16:06,757 --> 00:16:08,550             All of them.             308 00:16:08,592 --> 00:16:10,052       And we demand he resign.       309 00:16:10,094 --> 00:16:12,805           The second one's                     his resignation.           310 00:16:12,846 --> 00:16:14,640  We frame it as him stepping down  311 00:16:14,682 --> 00:16:17,601           in order to deal                   with family matters.         312 00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:20,521          But we let him know                 that if he signs one,        313 00:16:20,562 --> 00:16:23,273       the press will never see                    the other.              314 00:16:24,692 --> 00:16:26,568          And if he doesn't,                    what about then?           315 00:16:28,237 --> 00:16:30,322       Well, I guess we convert          the preferred stock to common,    316 00:16:30,364 --> 00:16:32,908         and all the investors            and the employees get votes.     317 00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:34,910              [Drummond]                         A proxy fight?            318 00:16:34,952 --> 00:16:38,497     At the cost of us losing our        dividends and claims on assets?  319 00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:43,293      I'd say that's the nuclear                 fucking option.           320 00:16:43,335 --> 00:16:44,920               [Gurley]                              It is.                321 00:16:44,962 --> 00:16:46,380        And that's exactly why        322 00:16:46,422 --> 00:16:48,382        we have got to get him                    to step down.            323 00:16:48,424 --> 00:16:49,925         What the hell happens        324 00:16:49,967 --> 00:16:51,552          in that movie with                 the alien anyway, Bill?       325 00:16:51,593 --> 00:16:54,513     They able to send that thing                back to space?            326 00:16:54,555 --> 00:16:56,015      No, it landed in the water                    on Earth               327 00:16:56,056 --> 00:16:57,516          and some fishermen                  opened it up, and...         328 00:16:58,976 --> 00:17:00,769     that's where the movie ended.    329 00:17:04,356 --> 00:17:06,150    I need you in on this with me.    330 00:17:06,191 --> 00:17:08,861     Not halfway, not just forward            facing, but for real.        331 00:17:10,362 --> 00:17:12,114       Arianna, I know how much               this matters to you.         332 00:17:13,574 --> 00:17:16,326            I truly believe                   that in the long run,        333 00:17:16,368 --> 00:17:19,538          this is what's best                    for Travis too.           334 00:17:19,580 --> 00:17:21,707         I like that you make                   this appeal to me          335 00:17:21,749 --> 00:17:24,293       knowing I care about him                   holistically,            336 00:17:24,334 --> 00:17:27,546        but I have a duty to do          the right thing for the company  337 00:17:27,588 --> 00:17:29,173            and for Travis.           338 00:17:29,214 --> 00:17:30,758              And I will.             339 00:17:34,219 --> 00:17:35,679        So you're with us then?       340 00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:40,059               Garrett?               341 00:17:44,229 --> 00:17:45,689               [Gurley]                   We have to have your support.    342 00:17:45,731 --> 00:17:47,566            Like you said,                   you have enough shares        343 00:17:47,608 --> 00:17:49,276           to block anything                the rest of us want to do      344 00:17:49,318 --> 00:17:50,986      if you line up with Travis.     345 00:17:51,028 --> 00:17:52,571              Yeah, well,                  it's important to remember      346 00:17:52,613 --> 00:17:54,156        that every single thing                Travis Kalanick did         347 00:17:54,198 --> 00:17:55,449         was to further Uber.         348 00:17:55,491 --> 00:17:57,242      It's important to remember      349 00:17:57,284 --> 00:17:59,078      what the world looked like                  before Uber.             350 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,580    It's important to remember this        was a worthy revolution.       351 00:18:01,622 --> 00:18:03,248          They're all worthy.         352 00:18:04,625 --> 00:18:06,668        That's why they happen.       353 00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:09,046       But most revolutionaries          don't become the best leaders.    354 00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:10,422         They become fascists.        355 00:18:10,464 --> 00:18:12,049            And one by one                     throughout history,         356 00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:14,009        they end up getting rid               of horrible regimes.         357 00:18:14,051 --> 00:18:16,345      They set out to do better,          but they end up doing worse.     358 00:18:16,386 --> 00:18:19,014        Until they get unseated               by the next monster.         359 00:18:19,056 --> 00:18:21,016            And if you think                    I'm exaggerating,          360 00:18:21,058 --> 00:18:24,728    you name me one group of rebels       who didn't become fascists.     361 00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:27,439          Well, the American                    Revolutionaries.           362 00:18:30,984 --> 00:18:34,738           Bill, Uber itself                   was the revolution.         363 00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:37,282         The people running it            hardly matter at this point.     364 00:18:40,327 --> 00:18:42,121        Yeah, TK, he has to go.       365 00:18:43,497 --> 00:18:44,790         He likes it too much.        366

00:18:52,339        If he's left in place,        369 00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:55,425        all the treasure gained           in the uprising will be lost.    370 00:18:57,511 --> 00:19:00,472         You know, we'd better                 draft this letter.          371 00:19:00,514 --> 00:19:03,267       I need to know for myself               just how bad it is          372 00:19:03,308 -->
